(KNSI) – The Sauk Rapids Police Department says a disturbing social media post about a peeping tom in the city is a hoax.
The fake post is headlined “Child Safety Alert” and depicts a man allegedly captured on a Ring doorbell camera outside a home in Sauk Rapids. The post says the man appears every night around 10:15 and looks into the windows and doors of the house, along with other residences in the neighborhood.
The Sauk Rapids police say they haven’t received any police reports about the incident. The Sartell Police Department had a similar issue with a post last month.
SRPD Cheif Perry Beise says he believes the post was made by someone who just wanted to see how many clicks it would get.
A news report from WCVB TV in Boston shows the picture linked to an article from December 20th, 2020, about a burglar captured on a ring doorbell.
